2001 ML320, 2008 GSX-R 600, 2006 GSX-R 750 (Track) 2012 C350 Coupe
A new mercedes in the family!

Was at work and we got in a once in a blue moon deal on a c350 coupe lease. So... I did it. I recently sold my ML and bought a hemi jeep. It lasted two months and i really missed the star. There is nothing like it. Traded it in on this.

2012 Ex-Consigned C350 Coupe
Black on Black
S32 Comand
Keyless Go
P1
Lane Keep Assist.
18" 7 Spoke wheel
Roof and trunk spoilers
locking lugs (because a honda driver may steal my wheels thinking they are motegi's )
NO LIGHTING PACKAGE

Just debadged her, will be nano tinting the pano roof and limo tinting the rest. Thinking about the C63 rear swap (exhaust and diffuser) and putting the new 2012 C63/CLS/etc split 5 spoke wheels on when its time for tires.

This car is incredible. I drive Mercedes all day, from c230's to CL65's but this one feels special. I was waiting for an E350 but i drove this and fell in love. Now the wife wants one too. Thinking about getting her an SLK250 so i can actually drive mine.

Nano tint is a tint that we sell here at the dealer that is amazing for reflecting heat. It is incredible stuff. Just not dark enough for me.

But it comes with the premium package on c350 right? Cuz at my dealership they said they aren't ordering any without the prem package.. Or maybe it's just cuz I'm from Canada...?

Currently, all the C coupes require ordering the optional Lighting Package to get the adaptive xenons. Make sure your dealer is not stating that your new coupe has the newly redesigned headlight deisgn as well as the adaptive xenons. Xenons are even optional on the E classes.

Please don't miss out the interior lightings as well. For that fraction of $, you get a business class feel.

C350 Coupe 4matic
"The Canadian version of the car comes with the bixenon headlight package. Mercedes USA tends to configure their vehicles with far fewer options as standard than in Canada. There are actually different equipment listings for MB USA and MB Canada. They nickle and dime you for everything down in the US."

That's the e-mail that I got back from my dealership.

Nice congrats

In Australia C350 and above come standard with the lighting package, but for the price range of these vehicles here, you'd expect nothing less
